5. Wes Bentley

He is known for the role in American Beauty, more recently he appeared in American Horror Story as  John Lowe, but what role caught the attention of director Christopher Nolan, so he would recommend it to Zack Snyder for the role of Batman? It was the role in The Hunger Games as Seneca Crane.

He is 35 so he could be an older Robin, his stature is compatible and he actually reassembles the character a lot. The best quality that recommends Wes Bentley for the role is his appearance. He does have a certain look that would fit perfectly in a comic book adaptation. He took a chance at the role of Batman but he was overshadowed by Ben Affleck . Why not getting the role of Nightwing?
